Turning On Your Equipment
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and connected correctly, as described in Chapter 1. Then turn on your projector, as described below, followed by any equipment you’ve connected to it. You can turn on your computer and video equipment in any order, but if you have more than one computer or video source connected, you may have to switch to the desired source as described on page 51.
Turning On the Projector
Follow these steps to turn on the projector:
1.Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power inlet.
2.Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet. The power light on the projector’s control panel starts flashing orange and then stays orange, indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet turned on.
3.Remove the lens cap.
4.Press the red Power button on top of the projector (or the remote control) to turn on the projector. (If you are using the remote, make sure it is turned on. See page 48 for more information.)
warning
Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.

The power light flashes green as the projector warms up, and the projection lamp comes on in about 30 seconds. The power light stays green, and you may see a blue screen with the message No Signal displayed. This is normal.
